FIFA worldcup - Format of each final tournament

Format of each final tournament[edit]

The number of teams and the format of each final tournament have varied considerably over the years. In most tournaments, the tournament consists of a round-robin group stage followed by a single-elimination knockout stage.[17]
  • 1930: A group stage, followed by a knockout stage with 4 teams (group winners; note that no third-place match was played)
  • 1934–1938: Single-elimination tournament; these are the only tournaments without a group stage
  • 1950: A first group stage, followed by a final group stage with 4 teams (group winners); this is the only tournament without an official final match
  • 1954–1970: A group stage, followed by a knockout stage with 8 teams (group winners and runners-up)
  • 1974–1978: A first group stage, followed by a second group stage with 8 teams (first round group winners and runners-up), followed by the final (second round group winners; second round group runners-up played in the third-place match)
  • 1982: A first group stage, followed by a second group stage with 12 teams (first round group winners and runners-up), followed by a knockout stage with 4 teams (second round group winners)
  • 1986–1994: A group stage, followed by a knockout stage with 16 teams (group winners, runners-up and the four best third-placed teams)
  • 1998–present: A group stage, followed by a knockout stage with 16 teams (group winners and runners-up)

[ To promote trade, he sent the first Chola mission to  China . Officials Rajendra Chola I  was made a co-regent during the last years of Rajaraja’s rule. He was the supreme ...
